Nelson Bays Police say outlaw motorcycle gang members coming to Nelson this weekend for the Hell¡¯s Angels poker run will be closely monitored to ensure they abide by the law.

Nelson Bays Area Commander Inspector Mat Arnold-Kelly said Police would have an extra focus on road safety and maintaining public order.

¡°We want to send a clear message to gangs that the people of Nelson will not tolerate anti-social behaviour and drugs in our community. Gangs are the main driver of methamphetamine trade in this country and we do not want that here. I have seen first-hand the devastation methamphetamine wreaks on people¡¯s lives and we all have to commit to disrupting this destructive drug trade.¡±

Inspector Arnold-Kelly said people could expect to see a highly visible Police presence throughout the weekend.
